I might have missed your personal message. Please, update if there is Firmware available that allows channel change.

@TanveerBD O atual firmaware não tem esta função

The latest firmware updates should include (in the "More" section of the Deco App) a "Network Optimization" function.  That does NOT let one manually choose the channels, but it does re-run the "automatic-channel-choosing" function of the mesh (probably the same function run when the mesh powers up).  Sometimes that will choose a different set of channels than were used previously.

@Exia re:

"... in certain area my 5GHz WiFi signal is almost as strong as my neighbor's. I thought Deco would be smart enough to select another channel but no. This causes unstable 5Ghz connection. My smart TV will get disconnected frequently when connected to 5GHz"

If at all possible, try moving on of the Deco's closer to the TV; make "your" signal stronger there.

Another alternative might be to run an Ethernet cable from the Deco to the TV, instead of using the wireless for the TV.

Hello, thanks for asking.

 

Currently, the Deco M5 5G only works on band 1 and it doesn't support band 4 (149-165) channels. I have sent you a PM, please check and confirm.

 

Good days~

@SandeepBeri The latest firmware for Deco M5 is 1.5.3, upgrade to this version and use Network Optimization feature so that Deco Automatically Selects the better channel.

There is no manual channel selection available in Deco, nor are they planning to add it in future as of now. But Network Optimisation works for me quite well though there are some reports from other users who are still unsatisfied and want only manual setting.

Hello dude, I also brought deco m5 from Bangladesh. So did you change your channel yet?

@TP-Link_Deco - Your wifi toolkit as well as another wifi analyzer app is telling me there is massive interference (Red-High on yours and 90% per my Android Wifi analyzer) on my wifi channel.  I have great signal strength (-42.0 dBm) but it says there are 5 co-channel interferences and 3 adjacent channel.  Ultimately, with regular 400/25 Mbps internet speeds, my Zoom meetings have become almost non-functional.

It doesn't sound like I can change the channel, is there any other way to function with less interference?

Thanks
